Gentle parenting involves a lot of patience, understanding and emotional strength. And just few people can really be gentle, I am not judging but children can be mischievous and they can also be a handful. So, they need to be corrected sometimes and also taught with firmness.
Create an atmosphere where my child is free to express himself and also knows that i will correct him when he is wrong.
I have a different approach to how I am doing this patenting, I believe in balance parenting. When a child's misbehaves, don't overlook it. correct them firmly. I always back it up with love, explanation and comfort when ever I correct my child.
The society will be greatful and full with responsible adults who are not feeling entitled, rude and disrespectful. I feel kids who are brought up with firmness are emotional and mentally strong to face the world and handle life with lots of courage.
In my " balance parenting" I aim to train my child take responsibility for his actions and still create a safe space for him to express himself.
over here, we practice firmness and love.
I respect mothers who choose gentle parenting 100%—every parent knows what works for their home.
But personally, I don’t think I can do full gentle parenting. I wasn’t raised that way, and honestly, I can’t imagine how my life would have turned out if I grew up without correction or discipline. Those things helped shaped me.
Even the holy book recommend deciplin.Spare the rod and spoil the child.
To me, it simply means balance guide them, correct them, love them, and raise them with intention.
Do you practice it, a bit of it, or something completely different?
